if we were to strictly follow the video on Trade Control, sometimes i find it hard to decide which one.
the Trade Control is a current market one touching h4. unless we are looking at continuation entry.
in the chart using h1 as TC, i must miss the first one because price did not return.
but that is the rule, we have to wait for the next one, which was successful.
the rule is there to facilitate consistency.

after some review, i find that Trade Control time frame (h1, m30, m15) that you have chosen is very important.
for example gold yesterday. if there is a strong push down and we want to long, h1 TC would not allow any set up.
if we are trading with momentum, m15 TC would provide more set ups.
i would reckon that m30 is somewhat in the middle for normal trading.

ITB did you enter long trade yesterday? I have marked the same TC as your chart (the bottom one) but I used M30. And I have entered a long trade when price entered the TC zone but ended in a loss. So what to do if we want to avoid this situation?

yes i did with floating loss. but i did it with small size as i won't be around next week and will leave it open.
in yesterday situation, no one would know that the we had a strong retracement.
the weekly candle looked weird now. we have a fib 62 for daily range.

it's hard to avoid this situation as losses are part of the business.
in a temporary down trend when situation is not in our favor, we can avoid this by using more filters.
however by using more filters when situation is in our favor, we may not be able to make a trade entry.

with extra filter by putting on the CE only after m30 candle closed inside the TC can avoid yesterday's buy.

Uj Daily closed as Bullish last Friday,
4h buy holding,
For me, i think if want to short need to see some strong displacement first and retest for short,
or else now 1h still uptrend
